Trope

JP /// confirmed!

With your phone right? 

I went to the bathroom.

Sitting at the computer with 3 tabs open: JWFan, La-La Land's Facebook page, and La-La Land's official site.

There won't be anything to see on LLL's site until 15 minutes after the announcements start.
 

Pretending to get work done.

It's already Black Friday here in ol blighty, waiting on you yanks to catch up 😂

Less than 153 hours to go!

Less than 4 hours to go!!!

We’re many things here at JWFan, but we’ve never been accused of being “genteel.”

Maybe this thread should be renamed to the Indiana Jones Disenchantment Thread 

And now he's come to spread his toxicity to JWFan (where before now there was absolutely no toxicity whatsoever, it was completely friendly and everybody loved, respected and agreed with one another)!

I was going to say! I commented on his post in another group and his reply was like “well I’m a diehard collector and yada yada” and I’m like this thing is vastly incomplete and flawed in several ways. He’s an interesting character.

This guy loves to fake cry while watching Indiana Jones trailers and whatnot hoping somehow his videos go viral. But it seemed to work on Lucasfilm because he was invited to the premiere. 
 

 

TLC is missing a few major cues (to me at least)
 
Sinister Visitors 
Discussing the Grail
Into the Catacombs
Elsa's Betrayal 
The Penitent Man Will Pass
 
Apologies for my wrong cue names and missing others as I'm on mobile today mostly just pumped for BF and hating on Disney.
 

and will sell these minutes by an extra bonus disk for additional 100$.

Just waiting for JWFans to find out Disney trimmed two minutes at the end of each CD.
 

If each release here was missing whatever in the hell we're missing from the Concord Raiders (I honestly couldn't tell you at the moment)....I doubt most of us here would be as bummed out by this, but still probably a bit bummed.
 
But there's simply way too much music missing from the other 4 scores. And it's been 15 fucking years since Concord at least put a well intentioned step forward however incomplete they were. I'm a little bit more sympathetic to a smaller label like Concord.
 
Disney has no excuses. Disney is just milking this shit.

I'm more worried about a multi billion company not knowing how or willing to not want to properly expand a release on the level of the smaller studios.  Embarrassing.

Agree with every single word of the above (only removed some for brevity).
 
I would eat my hat if there were any negative or 'fuck you, Williams fans' behind this. I certainly think it's no more complicated than those in charge know absolutely nothing at all about how expanded scores work. Someone decides (wrongly or rightly) that it would be nice to put out a box set containing all five scores (the price is a matter on its own) and probably asks their soundtrack department to give them whatever the 'latest' version is to put into a box. Just so happens to be the new programs made for Concord. Maybe someone in the soundtrack dept has a clue what's going on and actively provides the most complete programs available, instead of the OSTs.
 
If you e-mailed anyone in Disney complaining about this, going on about missing music and pitch issues, you'd get someone looking at their screen as confused as I would be if you e-mailed me to explain the last cricket score. (hint: I couldn't be less interested in cricket).

Yes! But does it come in a thin cardboard box? 

That's not what @JTW is saying. It costs too much for the actual value of physical media these days.
 
Can you name any other 5-cd set of anything that sells for $150 price while including nothing new?

It's gotten a little heated in here, but there's valid arguments on both sides. One of those "agree to disagree" situations.
 
I'm not losing hope though guys. Mike Matessino is our guy in the biz who knows what we want, and I have to believe he's slowly chipping away at trying to realize a new comprehensive Indy (and Star Wars) release, but we're not done waiting...

Is it though? Is it? Of course nobody's forced to buy anything, and few on this forum will, because it is an abusive price tag that's completely disconnected from the current market value of physical media. The Harry Potter 7-cd set is $105, and that's a labor of love from a specialty label, beautifully restored and packaged with detailed liner notes. $150 (+tax +shipping) for a 5-cd reissue of 15-year-old masterings is an insult. The choice is not with the buyer anymore when products are artificially priced way above value, and several hundred percent above inflation rates. It's offensive to the buyer who then has little choice but to pass. I certainly do not feel like I have a choice. I prefer to buy the John Mauceri 16-cd box that's coming out tomorrow for cheaper than that. Because I do not feel like Decca, unlike Disney, is laughing at me.
